User experience is one of the most important factor in Android App Development and for that here is a image/video picker just like whatsapp.

Pix is an opensource library to select a image / video from your android local storage gallery or click/record from the camera.

With pix you can implement similar UI/UX of whatsapps image picker with a lots of customizing functionality into your own android application with just few lines of code.

Pix can be used as
below

Pix.start(context, Options.init().setRequestCode(100));

for full customization you can use

Options options = Options.init()
.setRequestCode(100)
.setCount(3)
.setFrontfacing(false)
.setPreSelectedUrls(returnValue)
.setExcludeVideos(false)
.setVideoDurationLimitinSeconds(30)
.setScreenOrientation(Options.SCREEN_ORIENTATION_PORTRAIT)
.setPath("/pix/images");

Pix.start(MainActivity.this, options);
